Fundraise or host an event

Every year, thousands of people like you are inspired to raise money for young people. Your amazing efforts help change the lives of children and restore their hope for the future.

Whatever your skills or hobbies, whether organising a Christingle, running a marathon or hosting an online quiz night, your fundraising will help us be there for children who need us most.

So, what will you do?

Fundraising challenges

We offer charity challenges across the UK - half marathons, 10Ks, charity cycles, skydives and more. There is something for all ages and abilities, and we can send you training plans and recommendations from people who've been through it all before.

Fundraise your own way

You can choose to support us in whatever way you like. It doesn't have to involve Christingle oranges or hard exercise!

Whether you want to set up a bake sale, host a dinner, organise a movie night, play games or take on a dance challenge, we've got you covered.

Take a look at our top tips for organising a successful charity fundraiser.

Zoe Morrison

Stewardship & Volunteer Officer

I am deeply committed to The Children's Society's mission. Every child deserves a chance to thrive, to hope, and to aspire. My journey is also personal; witnessing my own daughter's battle with mental health challenges fuelled my determination to create a brighter future for her and every young person across the UK. Joining The Children's Society isn't just a job—it's a commitment to building a society where every young person's voice is heard, their struggles acknowledged, and their dreams championed.

Community Relationship Manager (London and South East)

I love that we walk towards the young people that society crosses the road to avoid. It’s inspiring to be in contact with compassionate and dedicated supporters who raise awareness and funds to allow us to do what we do best.
